and it's existing stocks, colors that not many like... i went the first day they open after CNY. i think i was the first customer that day. when i finish signing, all 4 units existing stocks were sold. super full house that day!
�
but now problems come, the SE became a bit unfriendly, and isn't really trying hard to help get coe. i start feeling they regret the deal liao... but they still want my trade-in car. LOL

1. M3 standard list price: 125,888
2. cevs rebate: -10,000

�
final price 95,000

Got such thing ?..this is Eurokars buying or other dealer.

Yes that is what I heard, my SE also confirmed that before purchase.

�
I am also only required to hand in my car after I have gotten the COE successfully.
�
During the Sunday when I signed up, I saw a lot of people buying M3. My SE told me they are from a construction firm which is paying for their ride. He showed me the company cheques. I saw at least 10 orders which are all going for guarantee COE (and they don't even bargain because company is paying). I believe Mazda will try to fulfil these orders first in the March/April bid.
�
You have got a good bargain for the car. I would suggest you call your SE to see if you can top up 2k to go for guarantee COE and to get the COE in the last March bid. That would solve your problem.
�
I'm supposed to trade in my current car to them when buying this new car. Not sure what they would do if i delay handing in my car. the trade-in dealer (Eurocar too actually) asked me to give her my car in March. Will Eurocar charge me for some sort of penalty if i can't get COE and can't trade-in my car within March?
Bro, in my past ten yrs of changing rides frequently, I hardly heard of your example. Maybe I am a snoob. That is why sometimes AD can be quite smelly too. It is always a 1 to 1 exchange if they agreed to take in your ride. The price they gave you for your old ride is usually already taken into account the depreciation until they hand you the new ride. It is their responsibility to give you your new ride by the promised date, but of course if yours is a non guaranteed package, it is riskier and they will usually ask you to top up to guaranteed if no successful bid thus far. Usually, though rare, honest AD will sometimes provide a standby ride for you supposedly if you need to hand over your car first. It really depends from AD to AD. Sorry to say this but some se from some AD are just yayaypapaya when they know their models are in demand and you as the consumer are at their mercy despite paying half a hdb flat.
Collecting my car this Friday. Finally! Heard now the car plates is SKR 8xxx reaching 9xxx already.
Congrats!
So in the end it's still within what he told me. He didn't tell me anything about LTA haven't approve or what.
I notice my sales agreement says must hand over trade in car one month upon getting COE. But more than 1 month liao and I just paid balance no issues. It's their own 2nd hand dealer anyway.
Booked my mazda 3 last weekend, is it worth it to extend 3 year warranty to 5 year at extra $2000? need advice ! thanks! is there anything I need to take note too? first timer in mazda

I took the discount and didn't take the extended warranty. I am hoping the car is reliable and no issues in the 4-5 years besides the normal wear and tear items.

If you cant make up you mind, take the 3 years warranty with $2k discount first. You can assess later if the car is problematic or not then decide if you want to top up for the warranty. The servicing section can help you process the +2year warranty extension. Also about $2k, I asked before during my first servicing. Hope this helps.�

I insisted on the extended warranty due to new engine. At least 2k is a small price to pay in case got issues before I sell my car.
OMG, that is 30k discount

firstly would you drive it for more than 3 years? some people always change cars after 2-3 years. if you are like that, surely no point to extend

did you go for guaranteed or non-guaranteed? i'm wondering whether non-guaranteed package make them less flexible on the trade-in

I am in non-guarantee COE. Same rule apply, i.e., Trade in $$ is locked in. But offer will cease when 6 tries expires

Mine is non-guaranteed. My current COE ends in 30th Jun 2015 so I decided to try my luck with 6 bids non guaranteed. My SE confirmed that I only need to trade in my car once I get my new car or just before my COE expires.
�
I joking asked if I crashed my car during this period, do I have to top up the 5k overtrade. The SE told me they will accept the car as long as I transfer the ownership to them before COE expires. This leads me to ask them if without trade in, what is the maximum discount they can give. My SE can offer about 3-4k which makes sense because a scrap value of a car with some left over road tax will work out about 1k. 3-4k plus 1k equals to 5k overtrade.
�
The construction firm staffs are all going for that week promotion - $109,888 (3 years warranty, only 10k servicing and including 5k overtrade) with guaranteed COE.
�
If I am Mazda, I will fulfil their orders first since these deals are higher margin compared to mine. As such, I don't expect to get my COE within the next 2-3 bids. I am hopeful I can get mine in May/June.
�
By then, depending on the COE results for the last few bids, I will decide whether to top up to get guaranteed COE.
�
Since you have gotten such a good deal, in order not to waste this deal, I will suggest you asking your SE if you can top up 2k to get guarantee COE. Condition is you want the COE within the next 1-2 bid. If you are okay to let go of this deal, then try your luck until your last COE bid.

Hi bro, based on current coe environment, shouldnt be an issue to get coe within 6 bid. Save the 2k to modify the car instead :)

Now I think it's 50-50 on COE. COE is expected to drop, but with the REVs rebates revising, the cars price is to increase by at least 5k(even those cars with no rebates currently will be slapped with fine) come July. Hence buyers on the fence will push COE up in the last few months, May/June period. At least with guaranteed COE, after 5 bids they die die have to chiong for 6th bids even if they have to use Cat C. But if it's 6 bids non guaranteed, they can just say "sorry, let's try again".
One question: �if the Mz3 uses the special battery, does it mean that if the battery dies, have to tow it back to the Trans Eurokars workshop to get a new battery since cannot just call AA for roadside assistance?�
This is called Creative Marketing

OMG, that is 30k discount

Can also be creative con to lock you in.
Best is to use the one motoring spreadsheet to work backward with minimum AD gross margin 10-12k and see what coe is at. If value is too far off from reality than you most likely won't get or need to to up.

Oh..Mazda guaranteed COE is a 6 bid guaranteed COE?...No wonder, I was wondering why so cheap to upgrade...

I did �not bother to ask on the conditions as I was not interested in guaranteed COE from the beginning,

Yes Mazda is 6 bids guaranteed, Honda offered me 6 bids non guaranteed. So far only PI offer me 1 bid guaranteed COE.
Hi guys,
�
Just to share. I was informed by my SE that the 2015 batch come with some updates.
Beside the welcome lights, there will be changes to the gear box ratio and�
performance enchancement to the engine. Therefore, we will see a slight increase to�
the horse power and torque. However, they have yet to receive the updated specifications.

Hopefully is truth : )

Oh..welcome lights?.....I was told they have homecoming lights...lol...but other than that, no update.
�
Maybe when I get the car on Thursday, will check out whether they have welcome,, homecoming or both lights....hahaha
Yes Mazda is 6 bids guaranteed, Honda offered me 6 bids non guaranteed. So far only PI offer me 1 bid guaranteed COE.
And please make sure it is 1 bid guaranteed without topup, and not 1 bid guaranteed with topup. The PI will only guarantee to bid for you, but at the stated rebate level. You might not get it if COE rise in the process. PI people are really creative people.
Congrats with your ride.. Will only collect mine on the following week : )
Update:
�
Discussed with SE, two options given by her boss:
1. top up 5k, change to 6 bis guaranteed...�
2. no top up, still non guaranteed, but only need to trade-in when getting COE, but will revise trade-in price every month (1k less each month). if no successful bid in the end, trade-in also cancel
�
option 2 is fair enough to me. option 1... well i think they realize the price is too good and somehow regret liao. SE says her boss was expecting COE to drop in March, and gave the promotions based on that assumption. But reality is going the other way... LOL
�
luckily my car still have 5 more years... even if cannot change to new car, still have a ride. But will surely miss mazda 3, it's a really sexy baby. :P

For our M3, the homecoming light is not auto. You will need to turn it on after turning off the engine, ie by pulling in the right lever towards you same as high beaming. After locking the car, the light will go off about 20 seconds (i think so, never count). This feature will make the daytime running light turn on only when the car is moving, unlike older batch which turns it on when car engine is started. To me the homecoming is a useless feature for most of us and wasted our waiting time for this feature to clear LTA. There is no welcome light feature added for this batch fyi.

Agreed.�
�
At least if it is auto, it is a nice feeling to me, but to make it manual, I will not do that step to activate it
�
But again, might be useful when in Malaysia

�
Maybe next batch, fellow forumers will wait 4 weeks for LTA approval and this time, reason could be auto lock !...

The old mazda 3 back seat also not that spacious, so I don't see what's the problem, since you are driving the old model. But if you are looking for spacious back seat,and based on the comparison you are looking at, you can include altis. You can strike out new mazda 3 if you think back seat space is important.

Actually what is the point of your post? You already booked an Elantra and waiting for coe yet you still asking which is better? Still need more reasons to justify your decision?

Made in Japan bro! But seriously it all depends on you what is your preference. If you need a back to back comparison talk to both AD, they will tell you the pros and cons. Here most, if not all, are Mazda converts.

Is the Bose sound speakers available for Mazda 3 in Singapore? Heard some people say not available in Singapore...

�
Yes is not available. There's no option to upgrade too.�
The old mazda 3 back seat also not that spacious, so I don't see what's the problem, since you are driving the old model. But if you are looking for spacious back seat,and based on the comparison you are looking at, you can include altis. You can strike out new mazda 3 if you think back seat space is important.
�
I think the interior feel/touch of the mazda 3 is the only MIJ/MIK Cat A car that can match up to the conti. but i dun fit into the driver seat as the centre console block my leg so i feel a bit cramp. the rear seats are not that small but because of the slopping top (hatchback) and the small windows, its a bit dark and thus feel a bit smaller den it actually is.
�
i would love to own the Mazda 3 HB if i dun have kids... so damn swee..
�
Currently driving Renault Fluence, which I believe has one of the roomiest back seats in their class.
�
I like Mazda 3, drive, design and also that is all factory fittings. I have similar concern with the back seats and boot space
�
Thus when I am deciding on Mazda 3, I have my 2 children sitting in the back seat and ensuring they are equally comfortable in it, which they did. A very large part of the driving time is for 4 of us only thus as long as it is comfortable, I am ok.
�
Also, my children's love for the car help. lol

HB is nice, I am sure my wife will like it. I have tried my best to look at SUVs and MPVs, especially SUV which my wife would love to drive one, but I still prefer sedan. I always tell my wife, just take it that I have no money to consider SUV lol.
Back seat space has never been a consideration when I buy a car. As long as the space is adequate for an adult, I am fine with it. And usually my wife will sit behind with my younger one so as long as she is ok with the space, then it is not an issue. To me the most important is the handling and responsiveness of the car.Currently driving Renault Fluence, which I believe has one of the roomiest back seats in their class.

Those who collected car, does the road tax and coe start the same day as collection?
Yes. The registered date.
Edited by 7nine, 18 March 2015 - 07:27 PM.
Yes. The registered date.
My car was registered a 3 days before I was told to come for collection, which means road tax and coe started 3 days before. Is this normal?

Rightfully your car should be available for collection once registered, carplate and IU installed. 3 days a bit too long. Likely your SE too busy to meet you.

Mine is 1 day before collection. The day of registration they will be also be bz putting up solar films, dash cam, polishing etc. So �normally earliest collection is the 2nd day.

I would say should be ok, especially if there are other 3rd party installations or freebies where some SE add in

Mine was registered yesterday evening. Tomorrow afternoon I am collecting the car
Hi all,
�
Anyone have recommendation where to get some accessories? I got the M3 basic.
I'm probably looking for�
- Door sills (those chrome kind?)
- Anywhere have original Mazda sunshades?
- Anywhere can install fog lights?
- Possibility of body kit? Didnt seem to see anyone with M3 + body kit
Just a quick query. What's the engine rpm at 90km/h?
2,000rpm is 88km/h

Can try tb. I got my screen protector, grip mat, remote control rubber cover. Girlfriend scolded me for destroying the remote control outlook. Haha. Currently waiting for the window visor.
Going for my first servicing tomorrow. Anything to take note? Thanks
The online manual has a section (3-16) on activating auto-lock using the driver door-lock switch. Would this work?

Tomorrow morning will go and check out the manual whether it has the same sectio

Check our local manual, that's something I will check when I pick up the car as well. But I think cannot, if you see 9-12 there is a setting and probably a module that will allow for locking when driving above 10km/h. But then again, this is the USA manual..

What is the car plate number alr as of now? SKR9xxx?

Hi guys,
�
Just to share. I was informed by my SE that the 2015 batch come with some updates.
Beside the welcome lights, there will be changes to the gear box ratio and�
performance enchancement to the engine. Therefore, we will see a slight increase to�
the horse power and torque. However, they have yet to receive the updated specifications.
�
Hopefully is truth : )
�
Those that have collected their new Mz3, what are the new changes thus far? Is there changes to gear box ratio, etc?�
Before I bought the Mazda 3, I tested a number of other cars as below: Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Altis, Toyota Prius C, Honda City, and Honda Jazz. Some of my personal feel on these cars:
�
�
Toyota Altis: Good acceleration, spacious, GPS, rear aircon, LED DRL/stop lamp, nice appearance, good mileage. Overall a very nice car to drive, a little fun to own and reasonable price for a Japan brand made in tom yum. �
�
Toyota Prius C: Ok acceleration, compact, GPS, cute appearance, LED headlamp, excellent mileage (hybrid car), informative/interesting display, 10 years battery warranty. Overall a very fun car to own, ok car to drive, and the mileage is superb. Price with $20K rebate is also very good for a made in Japan car.�
�
Honda City: Good acceleration, ok size, average appearance, no LED, good mileage. Overall a nice car to drive, but not fun to own, good price�for a Japan brand made in tom yum.
�
Honda Jazz (2015):�Excellent acceleration (the power to weight ratio is superb), direct-injection engine, compact, nice appearance, LED headlamp, excellent mileage for a non-hybrid car. Overall a very fun car to own and also a nice car to drive. Good price�for a made in Japan car.
�
Hyundai Elantra: Good acceleration, spacious, rear aircon, big LED DRL,�nice outlook, good mileage. Overall a nice car to drive, but not very fun and a little pricey for K-pop.�
�
Mazda 3 (2014): Average acceleration, direct-injection engine, very good steering response, very stable ride (heaviest among these grp),�ok size, Kodo design appearance, sunroof, GPS,�fierce LED DRL/stop lamp, Bi-Xenon headlamp, very good mileage, very interesting/informative display with commander control, and various high-tech Skyactiv technology (high compression, multi-disc clutch gear box, regenerative braking system i-Eloop, i-Stop, stable-rigid-light body, etc). Many similar features found in Mercedes. Overall a very very fun car to own, a nice car to drive and did I mentioned that the design is really zoom zoom. Good price�for a made in Japan car.... what can I say, that's why I choose a Mazda 3. Ha ha.�
�
�
comparing the m3 and elantra. which you all feel is better?

Edited by Brainstorm, 21 March 2015 - 02:24 AM.
So it seems my year of manufacture on LTA website is 2015, probably why my car came with os 51 like in Australia now.

Yep...Mine is SKR92xx...:)

Question to those deluxe owners. Your fog light. Does it comes with a separate switch. Coz mine is basic model, wonder if i install fog lights. where to place the switch or just wire together with headlights?

Yes separate switch on the light control stick. But why want to install fog lights? LTA can catch if your model no fog light then outside install. Also Eurokars will void warranty most likely. You also have to check with AIG whether the installation will void your insurance coverage.
The mounted screen looks abit ugly leah. and the back seat is not as spacious. side pockets are limited. furthur more with the cevs rebate. mazda is marking up the price more.
no offence. i am currently driving a 2005 mazda3. i do agree that the elantra steering us a little loose even at the sports mode.
i tested the new elantra as i find the design is quite nice as well.
have you tried braking the elantra at about 100km/hr? u should try it when u collected your car.
cheers.

Can share what would be the feeling when breaking at high speed with elantra? Never had the chance to test that.. How about ebrake at speed above 150kmh?.. Wonder how it compare with my Latio.. Hehehe...

I did not ebrake at 100km/hr ... just press hard .... it fishtail with 3 adults inside, on a dry sunny late afternoon.
Maybe something wrong with the demo car ...�
But Elantra is really not bad ... but I dont like how the engine feedbacked when I rev hard .... it felt taxed and "smaller" ...
�
Pls dont ebrake at 150km/hr, u will spin out of control ... but I think u knew that ...�

Checked. installation of fog lights / GPS / entertainment system etc. They are ok with it provided fog light is original mazda. Why fog light void insurance? don't quite get it, is a common installation for safety purpose. I find it useful when driving NS-highway at night. My previous cars all install. Only did my check with Mazda on some electronic installation whether they will void the battery or junction box but they seems ok with it.
Edited by 206134083638155, 22 March 2015 - 01:11 AM.
Insurance got clause that you must declare all modifications to the insurer. You better check first before kenna accident then you need to make a claim they don't honour. Insurer like Aviva very strict on this.�

FYI. LTA states fog light mod is approved but got certain conditions. Daylight running light and HID light mod is illegal.

Hehehe, maybe just me.. I will test the ebrake of my new car, safely ofcause, to run in the brakepad and rotor and find out abs works or not.. Hehehe
After the car is seasoned up, I will test the limit to know when will the abs kick in and how hard should I step on the brake without it kick in... I need to know my car limit and to do that, I have to test it out.. Hehehe

The declaration is to ensure they know what parts they are covering. Declaring the fog lights for example is when you want them to be covered otherwise during an accident these parts will not be covered or replaced. Install these items will not void insurance coverage.�

There's been a case in the papers about Aviva before. The guy changed his rims and didn't inform the Aviva. When he made the claim, they found out and even though the accident had nothing to do with the modification they refunded him his premium and terminated his insurance because if he had declared, they would not have quoted. Aviva takes very strict views on this, they only want to cover stock car.
You better read your insurance clauses and cal your insurer if your unsure. Do not assume, because when you really have an accident, assuming will be too late already if they pull a stunt like that on you.
